POOL-ROOM SWINDLES.
San Francisco Operators Suffer Seriously
Through the Vaccinations of Gamblers.

Special to tho INDIANAPOLIS Journal
SAN FRANCISCO July 16.-Ths profits in local
poolrooms have been twice within . week cur
tailed by successful swindies practiced on them
The first one resulted in loss Of $500 to ono and
the narrow escape from loss of several thou
sands to other establishments. It also resulted
in the discharge of an operator from the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, who, however,
10 known to be euiltless. 1t is al
legged the game was perpetrated through
leak between the receipt of . message In the
Western Union office and its receipt at the pool
room. though no proof to this effect was forth
coming.
Hardly had the excitement over this blown
over. when the sporting fraternity were RECALLED
with q story OF another successful scheme
magnitude. The trick was turned" through q
couple Of Brighten Beach events. Two
months ago: when the racing season
opened, local book makers, without ex-
ception, agreed to bar Brighton Beach from
their boards except by mutual consent, on occa-
sions when there were other races. Yesser-
day was one Of these occasions. All went well
until the sixth and seventh races, when there
was . plunge of combination, on which the odds
were already big. In the mile-and- sixteenth
race Hermitage and Compensation were named
for straight and place, and in the three-quartors
dash Peg Wellington and Crichton were selected
In all the pool rooms except that Of Kingsley g.
Go. Amounts ranging from $40 to $50 were laid
to win--in all, about $4,000. The results of
these were in accordance
with the above selections, and tho book makers
smelled big-sized rodent. but too late to save
themselves They suddenly recolected that
Billy Lakeland and ths head center OF Brighton
Beachers were great friends, and that Lakeland
can probably name the result in any Bright
on Beach event on few hours no.
tice One Of the men who had made a
lucky bet was Swallowed and was seen
to proceed direct to Kingsey's place, where
after hearty laugh, as IL over some good joke,
the pair went out to smile" That there
job there Is no doubt The only question is
whether the victims have decided on the right
manipulation, At all events they are powerless
aud can only grin and bear it. Brighton Beach
will, in all probability. never again are powerless

readiness absorb them. This economic duel
between Paris and Berlin does not, meantime,
seem to affect the political relations OF Berlin
and St. Petersburg: but official advices, on the
contrary. give expression to the evaporation

The Practical Joke Played ON the New York
Politician by Some of His Associates.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July ia number of politi-
clans were sitting in of the hotel Hobbies
talking politics and telling stories. whom IL came
to the turn of federal official from New York
TO relate his recolsctions Of public men. Il hap
pened that copy OF the New York Star lay on
the table before him, and that fact reminded
him of Mr.. Dorsheimer. .Some years ago. he
said, ''Dorsheimer and Walter Church were
very intimate friends Some of the boys put
up job on the former for the purpose Of break
ing up the cordiality. Church was induced to
pick quarrel with the Lieutenant governor.
and said something which was regarded by all
The others as objectionable insult We all
urged Dorsheimer to resent the insult In the
only manner open to a gentleman, and told him
that he must send a challenge to Church. He
was very reluctant to do this, but when assured
that Church was coward and that
he would certainly crawl in the dust the valiant
Dorsheimer sent the challenge. His surprise
was great indeed when IL promptly
cepted. He in hole and was exceed
inely anxious to do the crawling himself. He
hunted up his friends who had gotten him into
the scrape, and asked what in the name of all
that was good he was to do. Church. he said,
has accepted my challenge and has selected
rifles as the weapons I never fired q rife in
my life, and could not hit the side OF Mt
ten PAGES He was told that there was way
in which he could retreat with honor, and that
the only thing remaining for him was to prac-
tce constantly until the hour of meeting and
then face nis enemy boldly. He begged us all
to find some way out of the scrape for him, but
we sssured him that that would be i'm
possible and that he muet fight. He there
fore began practicing at once and burned nearly
half q hundred weight of powder before the day
set for the meeting. AT last that day arrived
and the combatants proceeded to the field OF
honor. There was quite a large party Of specta-
tors, including the two seconds and the necces-
sary surgeons, all OF whom were in the secret
except Mr.. Dorsheimer That gentleman was SO
nervous at the thought of taking human life
that he trembled frightfuly Whom Church
saw the rife in the hands of the Governor. saw
ing the air like a walking beam OF an engine. he
burst out laughing. That was the frat intima-
ton that Dorsheimer had that the proceedings
were a put-up job. He threw down his gun and
rushing over to Church seized him by the hand.
He seemed to be delighted to shake sEat paw,
but he had nothing to say to any of the others,
and don't think that he has really forgiven one
of the party to this day.
